But this is not the point i wanted to make here. My point was does the officer sitting in this vehicle understands how their decisions in one era create a huge impact for the future generations? Does he understand that this “TERRORIST” is their product from GHQ laboratories of 80z/90z. That he (and his org) is equally responsible for all the mess along with weak political setups. We cant allow them to simply incite religious emotions at one time for Jihad and then take a U-turn after 2 decades. The question , we , as citizens be asking these fellows is, now that they are feeling the heat, will they not repeat history and have they understood well the old quote : As you sow so shall you reap. We cant allow our ARMY to manufacture one WHOLE NEW GENERATION of JIHADIST and push the EXIT button on a call from Washington. As that creates million jobless Jehadist who cant be integrated into rest of the society.

We strongly need to tell them that please clean your own mess first before you EXIT.

Who can guarantee that our karta-dhartaz are not planning PROJECT-JIHAD v.2 once we are done with this “inteha-pasandi” mess. Are we learning from history or just passing a difficult phase?

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” Narrated by al-Nasa’i, 2106; Ahmad, 8769. classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 999.

Here is a checklist of some of the things that we can all do to make the remaining days of Ramadan work to our advantage (This is summarized from an email I received yesterday on the same topic):

1) Get in high gear for the next 10 nights and days:
Time is of the essence. Every moment counts. Whatever you need to do for the next ten days to make the most in Ibada, good deeds, reciting Quran, dhikr, making dua, etc., rewards are going to be multiplied. No one knew about the importance of these days more than the prophet (saws). Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the last ten days of Ramadan began, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stay up at night, wake his family and tie his lower garment tight. According to Ahmad and Muslim: he would strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan as he did not do at other times.

2) Get a Quran and recite as often as you can:
A few lines on this post can’t even come close to explaining the benefits and virtues of Quran. It is proven in the saheeh Sunnah that the Quran will intercede for those who read it at night, as Ahmad (6626) narrated from ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

Fasting and the Quran will intercede for a person on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say, ‘O Lord, I deprived him of his food and his desires during the day, so let me intercede for him.’ And the Quran will say: ‘I deprived him of his sleep at night so let me intercede for him.’ Then they will intercede.” Narrated by Ahmad; classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jami’, no. 3882
.
3) If your sins are holding you to move forward, this is the time to get them forgiven:
First the bad news – In Musnad Ahmad it is narrated that Thawbaan said: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: “A man is deprived of provision (Rizq) because of the sins that he commits.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 4022, classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah).

And now for the good news – It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, will be forgiven his previous sins.”

4) What to say on Laylat al-Qadr:
One of the best dua’s that can be recited on Laylat al-Qadr is that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). It was narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who classed it as saheeh, that ‘A’ishah said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, If I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say?” He said: “Say: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are All-Forgiving and You love forgiveness so forgive me).”

5) Get in the class of the Pious People:
Allah has described the pious as follows (interpretation of the meaning):
They used to sleep but little by night (invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope). [Quran: Surah Adh-Dhariyat (17)]
And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness, [Quran: Surah Adh-Dhariyat (18)]

6) Finally… Think of all that you need to ask Allah for and ask Him now. If you haven’t before, this is the time to connect with Him and feel closer to Him. And finally, when you are in a state of prayers and worship, please open your heart for others as well. Remember what the Prophet said:

“The supplication that gets the quickest answer is the one made by one Muslim for another in his absence.” Reported by Abu Daw’ud and Tirmidhi

May we all make the most of the last ten nights and days of Ramadan. Ameen Summa Ameen.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

I recently met this legendary Journalist Chand Nawab a few days back, his shot to fame was this TV blooper which was recorded almost a year back at the Karachi Railway station. The video finding its way online was a prank by his colleagues and for a good few months Chand Nawab was in a fit of rage at his friends having humiliated him. But now he instead enjoys narrating this story in his own unique hilarious way, which in retrospect believe is worth another youtube clip for the legendary Chand Nawab and his KARACHI blooper

PS: Servis can only rule itself on Don Carlos line. Their sneakers aren’t that good from any aspect.

But first over to what Nusrat Javed has tried to exposed on LVT and he is on spot without wasting time. This is neither about 92 operation, nor about PML vs MQM and nor about what really happened in 92, this is actually a new stunt to save Mr. Musharraf. Let’s expose the script:

1. The timing of this disclosure by Brigadier is strange but since recently a new fashion among retired officers to become haji/momin on TV has developed (The durraniz, the hameed guls and the Aslam baigs) telling us fascinating stories excluding themselves of any ill doing. They start like: I was a kid, I was stationed there, here, in air, under water but I swear I had absolutely no idea about this dirty evil game being played, trust me its mr. XYZ who did all the dirty killing, abduction, MNA/MPA buying, I was just doing my holy ISI/MI/IB duty.
2. Everyone knows the agencies rule this country, and politicians are just a public face on whom all dirt is thrown when something goes wrong. Be it Nawaz, BB, Altaf or any other we known well the actual power and decision making especially on National Security comes from Pindi. Even if NS has intervened to stop the operation the agencies might well ask him to pack the bag (the same pretext Durrani used while referig to a question as to why PPP gov was conspired against and removed, his reply was it was acting agaist national interest) therefore instead of acting on screen, MQM should reach out to the collars of those GENERALs or in Waseem Akhtar’s own words if they have a “mard ka bacha” if they have guts but wait, like Khuaja Asif said the other day, there is a method behind this MQM madness and it is this:
3. With or without Jinah pur being a drama or truth, there is no doubt that MQM then (openly) and now (covertly) has a militant wing and it should have been dealt the way it was in 92 except that, since our establishment has this habit of going too far they mostly killed the innocent Urdu speaking in their anger on MQM. If Altaf bhai has anyone to shout at, wisdom dictates, to have some guts to name the Generals/Brigadiers/colonels behind the decision making. It is also very unfortunate that his brother (who no doubt is innocent) had to pay the price for some dirty fishes in MQM then. And if history’s mind serves correctly it was PPP gov when his brother was gunned down. This he conveniently (deliberately?) forgets to mention since kiunki Sindh hakumat bi toh chalani hai.
4. The reason why ISPR later pressurized media to further continue with Jinahpur map drama was possibly because it could also put MQM-Haqiqi (one more agency PRODUCT ) in bad position since haqiqi also claims true representation of Mohajirs. Haqiqi might have requested agencies not to continue it since it could also undermine their own cause.
5. Also an innocent is an innocent nowhere whom he/she belongs to. Why he is ot vocal a judicial commission on May-12. The tele-acting might be justified for the light hearted viewers (especially the ones whose loved ones were brutally killed in 92) but experience has taught the wise one’s to see behind the apparent.
6. Altaf bhai asked Chief Justice to take suo moto action and inquire on 92. Here is my humble question to him: If CJP does inquire and a commission is set will he present himself in it for TRUTH FINDING purpose? Will he accept that there were indeed some kana’s langraz and dhobiz who were indeed terrorists? If the commission concludes, that some content of the proof against MQM (say 25%) was indeed true and there were some torture cells etc. Will he as LAW loving preacher accept that commission report or repeat court storming of SHC  like they did to pressurize judges on May 12 fact finding inquiry? If his answer is YES, we as KHI citizen fully support his demand.

A simple summary of this complex game goes like this:

Mr. Nawaz Sharif, due to twist of fate finds himself trying to break the Establishment’s KID label and is seen now as the only anti-establishment person in political basket. Everyone tried to get him away from Mr. Musharraf’s trial but no success so guess so first the Saraiki provice fuss and now the new drama? This PKpolitics post (alternate link ) saves my time to explain in detail the reason why MQM is hell bent upon selectively thrashing PML. Are all these frequent meetings recently by Mush himself and his men to discuss weather in London?. Has anyone noticed how suddenly article 6 has disappeared from screens and all the noise now is about a dead story, just because some lately-mominized brigadier’s conscience woke up to uphold the truth?

MQM should now grow up and try to act like a political party (which it has full potential) instead of playing in the hands of agencies. The same agencies who kept using it to pressurize/control PPP in Sindh and PML/ANP in center. The dictator has thrown many bones since 2002 and they enjoyed his company and now he is dying. Why they want to risk their own party life for a lost chapter. If they are really honest with their own cause they should (and everyone should support them) forcefully push for bringing the agency officers then to justice instead of selective criticism to save a dictator, that is, if they are really honest to the innocents killed in 92. Moreover mr. NS should stop acting like he was too helpless then and apologize for not resigning in 92 with dignity or else face the Law accordingly.

I believe PML is as corrupt/as PPP/MQM but even a kid can see why this whole fuss is started : Very simple : put as much pressure as possible on PML so it can quit its stance on NRO (to benefit ZARDARI) and ARTICLE 6 (to benefit MUSH saheb).

I guess KMB should have a new category, why kesc sucks!

The evil ZIA was the main culprit to first introduce us with this cancer to strengthen his power. Karachi which then known to be a progressive, highly educated city which produces artists, engineers,doctors of class is now producing militants on religious and ethnic grounds, charas and arms heaven, and a big bunch of ill-literate degree holders. Roam around to see how many of religious constructions are LEGAL (since these thaikedarz act more worried abour morals and legalities).

The Issue: But this is not the point actually. My main point was a suggestion which is why not make a new law titled “Tauheen-e-insaniat” which should auto-activate once “Tauheen-e-Risalat” is not established and this means if one person accuses other of TR, failure in court to justify should automatically result him punished him under Tauheen-e-Insaniat with same punishment as of TR since a person using PROPHET’s (pbuh) name/reference to blackmail/terrorize another person is himself guilty of a TR (logically speaking ? no ?) and the state should now register him under TR law and not any other law. There is no need to go back and do an FIR and all the time-wasting procedures. This should provide good safety check for innocent victims. If there is any such law present it should be further strengthened.

Whenever I would I wake up at the middle of the night, I would dial non-stop until I get through. It was anti-depressant for me. I would wait for 3 minutes and listen the horrible music. Then the operator came and gave the same answer, “we are very sorry, we are working on it” and the very special, every time, “it would take three to four hours”

I mean it was like different parrots being ratafied the same line. So when I was really frustrated I said ‘Shame on you’ to one representative. At the height of my frustration this came up:

Me: “Kab se phone kar raha hun it been more than 30 hours har teen ghante ke baad phone karta hun and you people say EXPECTED HAI teen aur ghante lagey ge. Kia sab ne rata laga rakha hai”
Representative: “We are trying, baarish hai es liye problem horaha hai”
Me: “Baarish kab se ruki huwi hai, aap log ne kia teen ghante teen ghante laga rakha hai” :p
Representative: “Mazrat ke saath aap ko thora aur wait karna parega”
Me: “Kab tak light aaigi”
Representative: “Bas thori aur dair intezaar karey” (She didn’t even dare to say three hours =p)
Me: “Kitna aur intezaar, teen ghantey” =D

and then few hours later

Me: “Light kab aayegi”
Representative: “Expected hai teen ghante lageinge”
Me: “Itne ghante hogaye, aap ne bas teen ghante ki ratt laga ke rakhi hai. Lagta hai sab bhete huwe hain aise hi, ke teen ghante khatam hi nahi hote abhi 30 se uper ghante hochuke hain”
Representative: kind of crying, complaining tone “Sir kia karein try kar rahe hain, itni problems hain. gadiyan(vehicles) nikalti hain aur phir log pathar maarte hain aur….. koshish jaari hai”

These guys seriously know their stuff =p

Btw it took 40 hours for electricity to resume at our place.. duh!

Another btw the amount saved for bills on these 40 hours have been compensated on the calls.

If you have heard the song ‘Piya tu’ from movie Don, replace Piya with ‘Light’ and Mona with ‘Kesc Not’ and it would fit the whole mess perfectly. Try it.
